YMMV / Scare Tactics (2003)

Go To

  • Memetic Badass: Luther, the victim from "Lab Lockdown", has gained this status. Tricked into thinking that he was locked in a room leaking gas, he repeatedly tries to kick the wall to escape, almost succeeding before being stopped by a friend. He hit the wall so hard not only did he dent it, a painting on the other side of the wall fell down.
  • Memetic Mutation: The conjoined twin prank. EAT! EAT! EAT!
  • Narm: Due to an underwhelming victim reaction, inconsistent special effects, or both, suffice it to say that some of the pranks aren't quite as exciting to watch as others.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Some of the pranks (especially since Morgan became the host) will make you thankful you're only in the audience.
  • Paranoia Fuel: What if you're the next victim to be pranked? Your friends, your siblings, your own parents might be setting you up right now.
  • Recycled Script: They'll sometimes use a scenario they've done before but with new victims.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The fact that they replaced the hot young female host with an average looking guy might have had to do with the show's cancellation. On the other hand, Tracy Morgan becoming the host is why it started Growing the Beard.
